A quarterly deep-dive into your book’s performance with clear, author-friendly recommendations to keep your backlist healthy and your launches on track.
Quarterly Analytics Assessment & Refresh
Data-backed clarity for your indie author career.
Your books are out in the world—now it’s time to make sure they’re working as hard as you are.
Hawthorn & Aster’s Quarterly Analytics Assessment & Refresh is a boutique, data-informed review of your book’s performance across key platforms. We translate raw numbers into clear, actionable steps so you know exactly what to adjust (and what’s already working beautifully).
Perfect for authors who want to stop guessing, start tracking, and make smart, sustainable decisions about their catalog.
✨ What We Review Each Quarter
For each participating title (or series), we take a close look at:
Category & BISAC performance How your current categories are serving you—and whether strategic shifts could help.
Keyword effectiveness How your current keyword choices align with reader search behavior and genre trends.
Series sellthrough (if applicable) Where readers are dropping off, which titles are strongest, and where to focus energy.
Pricing & positioning How your pricing compares in your niche and whether adjustments might boost performance.
Metadata & packaging health check A high-level look at your title, subtitle, blurb, and author-facing elements for alignment and clarity.
Traffic & visibility notes Any discoverability clues we can infer from available data (ads, promos, organic).
📋 What You’ll Receive
Each quarter, you’ll receive a concise, studio-polished report that includes:
A snapshot summary of how your book(s) performed this quarter
A plain-language breakdown of key analytics and what they mean
A brief category & keyword health check
Notes on pricing, positioning, and packaging
2–5 clear, prioritized recommendations for the next quarter
Optional suggestions for future promos, ads, or metadata tweaks
You’ll walk away knowing exactly where to focus your time and budget—no spreadsheets required on your end.
💸 Pricing & Structure
This service is available in two ways:
One-Time Quarterly Assessment — ideal for a single check-in ($225)
Perfect if you want a professional second opinion on how your book is doing, or to support a specific launch or promotion.
Annual Quarterly Assessment Plan — best value for longevity ($185/quarter)
Commit to a full year of quarterly reviews and enjoy a lower per-quarter rate, with consistent support and trend tracking over time.
Bonus: Authors who book our KDP/D2D Set-Up service can lock in their first quarterly assessment at the lower ongoing rate.

💬 FAQ
Do I need to send you screenshots or reports? If you’re comfortable sharing them, screenshots can be helpful—but they’re not required. We’ll let you know in the intake form what’s most useful.
Is this only for Amazon/KDP? Amazon is our primary analytics source, but we can also consider D2D and other retailers where data is available.
Will you manage my ads for me? No. We can offer Ad Campaign Prep as an add-on (strategy, copy, targeting), but day-to-day ad management is outside this service.
Is this useful if I only have one book out? Yes. In fact, early data can help you adjust your strategy before launching book two.
Can I upgrade to the annual plan later? Absolutely. If you start with a one-time assessment and decide you’d like ongoing support, we’ll apply future quarters at the subscription rate.
